boundary issues [was: psyche and substance by whitmont

[Shannon Nelson]

Probably "sympathetic" is one rubric to look at re "boundary issues"?
(Besides phos, carc and cann-i?)

[Rosemary C. Hyde, Ph.D.]

Interesting question about boundary issues. I did think of 'Sensitive," "Yielding," "Sympathetic." However, at least in RU and Synthesis, looking through the cross-references makes one think that these are not spot on synonyms. Probably the rubrics that most closely describe a lack of boundaries, in the sense of taking on the issues and feelings of someone else, are those describing "confusion of identity." Alum is another important remedy in this series.
The kind of sympathetic bonding with another person that was also described is another aspect of boundaries dissolving, and sometimes this happens in a good way and doesn't need to be treated, but sometimes, it too has to do with confusion of identity -- "head belongs to another"!

Hi Rosemary,

Would you consider "no sense of self"? I remember reading this description about a remedy,
but don't remember which one.

Also, there are serious boundary issues related to substance abuse. Perhaps this is a different type of boundary issue?
